To blog or not to blog... about work
I was just reading slashdot and it pointed to this article on CNN regarding people who were fired for things they posted on their blog to do with work. Really makes you think twice before posting anything in such a public forum. Having said that, some of the things they got fired for were not quite fair in my opinion. This one lady from Delta Airlines got fired for some pictures of her in her uniform... nothing racy, just playful. And one lady (dooce.com) now has a word in the the urban dictionary from her getting fired. DOOCED: to lose one’s job because of one’s website.
I wonder how many people have been given jobs because of what is in their blog. I'm sure the numbers are equally low as those who have been dooced.
On a pretty geeky note, I was reading this article on how to set up your own PBX system using Linux and a peice of open source software called Asterisk. For a couple hundred bucks max you can have a full fledged PBX with voicemail, VOIP access, faxing and fax forwarding to email, and on and on. and that is just cost for hardware, the software is free. http://techdatapros.com/asterisk/ is where the how to article is. I think if i can get an old pc that is powerfull enough I will try this out.
Sharon and I went for some butter chicken and curry on Friday night at India Gate restaurant. We have had take out from there before, but I did not find it very good. Well we went back because there is a coupon in the entertainment book and a lot of reviews on the web said it was good. Well we really enjoyed it. Really good butter chicken, great service, clean and nice atmosphere, and not to expensive.
We went over to future shop after to get some blank DVDs to backup movies to ;0). While there, i was showing sharon the HP Media Center Z545, the coolest media center pc currently available. Someone had put some songs on there including a rendition of "Baby it's cold outside" by Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey... man that is the worst thing I have ever heard.
Sharon is off to Denver tomorrow for the week. It is the first time she is travelling on business. So I'm baching it for the week, that will involve pretty much the same as usual, minus Sharon sleeping next to me. I'll miss her but she's back friday!
